We have received the following from Margaret Wood….Someone has hit our wall while we were out and also caught my mums car.  It was this morning (Monday) some time between 10 and 12. The stone gatepost is the same one that is on a postcard Denis has dated 1910 and it now has a massive crack in it, so sad. If anyone saw, or heard anything please contact Margaret on 390531.

The plant stall outside Rookery House will be starting up again this weekend.

We have Cronus, Doronicum, Achillea, Iris, Sunflowers, Bedding Dahlias and lots of annuals.

Plenty there to keep our precious pollinators happy!

If you are splitting plants or have any surplus plants, contributions to the stall would be very welcome.

A good number of people came along last Sunday to find out how to make their gardens more wildlife friendly, with an inspiring talk by Derbyshire Wildlife trust, lots of ideas and plenty of cake! People went home with pots of seeds for pollinators, bird feeders and nest boxes and mini ponds in pots, many signing up to a pledge to make their gardens more wildlife friendly this year.

Repairs to the wall around Pump Hill will be taking place starting this Saturday, the 26th of April. They will last for three weeks. To cone off a safe working area by the wall the Highways Authority have required a one way system with traffic lights. For the one way traffic to pass on the opposite side of the road parking will be restricted while the work takes place.

We would like to invite anyone interested in helping us to organise events in the village, including Wakes week to come along to the Carnival and Recreation Committee AGM on Thursday 24th April, 7.30pm at Parwich Royal British Legion.
